My power went out yesterday morning from the killer ice storm we had across South Carolina. And the power company says I will not have power until Tuesday. Today is Friday and I'm sleeping on the floor in my wife's office, while the rest of my family sleeps on coaches and cots through out the entire office. I'm typing this from the receptionist's desk. But we're all warm for the night and I guess we'll be here all weekend. I'm just happy to have internet access again. Man I was having some serious web withdrawl.

I got to test drive the newest gadget from Leapfrog.

The Fly Pentop Computer

It's a pen with a scanner in the tip that reads what you write.
There is a speaker built in that tells you what to do and reacts to what you've done.
You have to write on special "fly paper" for it to work.
The paper has small dots all over it, so the pen knows it's location on the page as you write.
Basically it's a computer without a monitor and You draw the icons and menus on the paper.

It's pretty amazing and I'm sure "tweenagers" are going to love it.
There are all sorts of game packs and learning packs you can purchase for it.
The technology behind this gadget will surely be expanded in all sorts of ways.
But for now, sneak a test drive from your nephew/niece on Christmas day.
